The Pennsylvania College of Technology golf team had two outings last week in its final tune-up before the United States Collegiate Athletic Association National Championships and the college’s men’s tennis team tasted action for the first time.
Golf
Playing in a rare two-day tournament at the Penn State Harrisburg Invitational Sunday and Monday, Calvin Foust, of Palmyra, topped Penn College golfers with a 79-86–165 as the Wildcats placed ninth among 12 teams with a 681 total.
